Using your Oregon Counter Bench is a breeze. Just place it at your counter area and start enjoying the comfortable seating for two. Since it's for indoor use only, make sure to keep it away from harsh weather conditions. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully. To maintain your bench, wipe it down regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the wood - pressed bamboo grain seat or the metal frame. Also, don't exceed the 500 lbs weight limit to ensure the bench stays sturdy and lasts for a long time.
